Stella & Dot's Autism Awareness Bracelet - April 2017

It's that time of year... April is here - and so is Autism Awareness Month! For the fourth year in a row, Stella & Dot is partnering with the HollyRod Foundation for a unique "shop for a cause" boutique.

The HollyRod Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate care to those living with autism. They seek to fill an unmet need by providing compassionate care and services to underserved individuals and families that are burdened financially and emotionally by a diagnosis.

Stella & Dot has added a new Autism Awareness bracelet to the benefit the HollyRod Foundation this year, the Melody Bracelet! This piece is a "melody" of colorful beads stacked against the vintage gold in our favorite wishing bracelet silhouette.

Additionally, we'll continue with our best-selling Wishing Bracelet, the Harmony Bracelet, in a colorful pave. In "harmony", our voices become one. Rainbows are said to be a perfect balance of promise, beauty, and enlightenment -- and the different colors represent those on various points of the autism spectrum.

From April 1-30, 2017, proceeds from this bracelet will benefit the HollyRod Foundation. For only $19 each, the Harmony bracelet or the Melody bracelet (both available on my website at www.stelladot.com/wcfields) is a great way to support and shop for a cause in style!

I recommend getting one for yourself and one for a friend (or two!), as it is perfect for adding on to your spring and summer arm party or to give as a gift. My personal goal is to sell 50 bracelets in April! Will you join me in supporting autism awareness this year?

Since partnering with the HollyRod Foundation in 2013, we have donated over $390,000! The funds generated from this collaboration helped to support various autism summer camps, social skills and adolescent prevocational programs around the US and Canada. We have been able to grant more than 100 tablets to non-verbal children with autism giving them the “Gift of Voice.” 

Due to the success of our 2014-2016 campaigns, we have also helped fund 13 new RJ’s Places in children’s hospitals and autism centers across the U.S. and Canada that provide technology for children living with autism and to create a refuge for siblings who must accompany their brother or sister to treatment.

Update - 4/10/17: We sold out of the Melody bracelet in just TWO DAYS! The second batch is currently available for pre-order (with a ship date of May 29, 2017); however, we've added in two additional styles to the Autism Boutique - the Wishing Bisous and Protective Eye bracelets for the month of April!

Bracelets - Top to Bottom: Wishing Bisous, Harmony, Wishing Protective Eye. Shop these styles and more at www.stelladot.com/wcfields!

Please send me an e-mail or order online if you would like to one, two... or five! And if this cause is near and dear to your heart, let's get together for a FUNdraiser in-person or online trunk show in April! I'd be happy to support a national or local autism organization in your honor, as I love making donations to a great cause!
